This is attached to the second surface of the wall portion, in particular of the inner container in the region of the edge of the opening, preferably glued to the second surface, and forms the cavity which is open in the direction of the opening of the inner container. The shell-shaped housing is preferably formed in one piece and made of plastic, for example. The housing is preferably glued circumferentially in the region of the edge of the opening with the second surface of the inner container. The housing is preferably in Foamed the insulating foam of the household refrigerator.

The wall portion, preferably the inner container is further formed such that it partially overlaps the cavity to form the niche. In this niche that is arranged at least one light source. In addition, the wall portion or the inner container in the region of the niche is formed such that it completely overlaps the at least one luminous means. As a result, the wall section, preferably the inner container, covers the at least one light source from the direction of the coolable interior. This facilitates homogeneous illumination of the coolable interior.

According to a variant of the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the housing has a lateral wall section which projects from the second surface of the wall section and forms part of the niche. Preferably, the at least one lighting means is fixed to the side wall portion, e.g. by means of at least one latching hook formed on the lateral wall section. The lateral wall portion preferably forms a right angle with the second surface. The lateral wall section preferably runs vertically and in particular faces the door leaf.

The housing may preferably have a curved wall section, which adjoins the end of the lateral wall section facing away from the second surface and has a surface facing the coolable interior and designed as a reflector for the light generated by the at least one light source. The curved wall section, in particular its surface formed as a reflector also limits the cavity. The surface designed as a reflector may e.g. for improved scattering of the light generated by the at least one light source, e.g. be executed rough. Preferably, the reflector is an integral part of the curved wall portion.

The curved wall section preferably extends from the lateral wall section and extends up to the region of the edge of the opening opposite the lateral wall section, in particular without the wall section or the inner container overlapping the cavity in the area opposite the lateral wall section.

It is preferably provided that the at least one light source irradiates its light laterally into the housing. The light is then directed by the reflector in the direction of the opening into the coolable interior. Thereby it is also possible, the interior lighting relatively flat, e.g. shallower than 12 mm.

Preferably, in the region of the niche, the wall section not only completely overlaps the at least one luminous means, but additionally also a part of the surface of the curved wall section onto which the light generated by the at least one luminous means impinges. In particular, when the plurality of juxtaposed LEDs are used as the light source, so-called halos can form in a region relatively close to the LEDs on the surface formed as a reflector. These are covered according to the invention by the overlapping part of the wall portion and are therefore no longer visible. Preferably, the wall portion overlaps the cavity over a length of at least 10mm.

In order to simplify the mounting of the interior lighting to the wall section or the inner container, it may be provided according to a variant of the household refrigerator according to the invention that the wall portion in a, the lateral wall portion opposite portion of the edge formed as a tab, from the second surface of the coolable Interior protruding region which engages for centering of the housing in a slot of the housing, in particular engages positively. This variant is particularly advantageous if the wall section or the inner container is made of metal. Then not only can the opening be relatively easily e.g. be produced by punching, but also the tab by appropriate bending of the wall portion in the relevant area. The tab is preferably at a right angle from the second surface.

According to a further variant of the household refrigerating appliance according to the invention, the interior lighting has a cover which is semitransparent at least for light and which is fastened to the first surface of the wall section in the region of the edge of the opening. The cover closes the opening and is preferably glued to the first surface of the wall portion. It may be provided that the region of the edge of the opening, with which the cover is glued, back offset. As a result, it is possible to prevent the surface of the cover, which is directed in the direction of the coolable interior, from projecting over the majority of the surface (first surface) of the wall section directed in the direction of the coolable interior. The cover is preferably in one piece.

The cover may preferably have an at least semitransparent region and a frame surrounding this region for light have impermeable frame. The opaque frame can be made for example by printing. The semitransparent region is preferably opaque and / or provided with a structure which breaks the light reflected by the surface of the curved wall section formed as a reflector in order to obtain a relatively homogeneous light distribution of the interior lighting. Preferably, the frame completely covers the area of the first surface to which the cover is attached.

Due to the household refrigerator according to the invention, a relatively flat LED surface light may result as interior lighting.

Depending on the embodiment of the household refrigerator according to the invention, the inner container may be slightly recessed and punched out. In the housing, which preferably integrates a reflector, an LED circuit board, i. a printed circuit board with LEDs, be integrated. The LED circuit board is preferably located behind the opening of the inner container. This creates a correspondingly large "mixing distance" for the LED light. If e.g. Used 24 side by side LEDs, they have e.g. a distance of 16mm center-to-center each other.

The optionally used cover is preferably a thin plastic plate, which is preferably glued to the recessed inner container. The material of the plastic plate is preferably slightly milky and structured and thus allows a relatively homogeneous lighting. It can also be transparent or differently colored or structured. This changes the character of the interior lighting.

The cover is preferably printed on the edge, e.g. to obscure the bond or dark spot on the edge. This printing can e.g. relatively narrow realized, since the LEDs are still sitting further back. For example, for customer service, the cover may be removable. The printed circuit board, if any, may have latching engagement at the end and may be disassembled by sliding.
